The old saying that “patience is a virtue” applies to gardeners who get the itch to garden when temperatures warm up in the spring. One of the ways to determine when to plant veggies is based on their hardiness or their ability to withstand frost and cold temperatures.

Starting flowers and vegetables from seed is a great activity, especially when you just can’t wait any longer to get your hands dirty before spring. It usually takes six to eight weeks for plants started from seed to be ready for outdoor planting.

Gardening does require work, but by learning a few basic skills and techniques, you can make your vegetable gardening experience a pleasant one. Have your soil tested before you start gardening to determine if your soil is lacking any needed nutrients.

Seed Starting
A good way to get over the winter hump is to start flowers and vegetables from seed indoors for later transplant. The biggest advantage is a much wider variety of plants and cultivars are available from seed than from ready to buy transplants.

Starting Vegetable Seeds Indoors
"Planting time for vegetable seeds started indoors depends on when the seedling needs to be transplanted in the garden," said Maurice Ogutu. Inspect the plants for damping off disease and remove infected plants and drench the media with recommended fungicides.
